Sometimes the concept of counting by fives and tens can be a little bit difficult to grasp at first.
I like to teach counting by tens first. I find that it is easier to teach after exploring the tens and ones column and explaining how, when counting by tens, the number in the tens column changes as though you are counting.
It all makes perfect sense to me.
My daughter just looked at me like I was from another planet.
Um... ok... on to plan B.
After all, when homeschooling, we always have to have a plan B right? What works for one kid doesn't necessarily work for another. I was surprised this time though. My daughter is really good at math. I can give her a page of addition or subtraction, and she is back five or ten minutes later with all of them done correctly. Those same pages would take a couple of my other, more reluctant children (read: kids who thought math was the most boring, torturous thing on the planet) , half the day to do when they were younger. I guess my 7 year old just likes math. You won't hear me complaining!
So, why is counting by fives and tens so difficult, then?
I don't know, but plan B better work.
Only thing is... um... I didn't have a plan B this time.
I didn't think I'd need it.
Then it hit me! A visual!
IMPORTANT NOTE
Hello, and welcome.
I would like to inform you that I AM MOVING.
...well, sort of. I have started a new blog, Oui Crochet, that focuses just on crochet, crochet patterns, and crochet resources. I am in the process of building it up as a one stop shop for all things crochet, and I am very excited about it. I hope you will come over and check out my progress. :)
I will be moving my patterns from this site, to my new site. My idea is to leave this site active, so that you can still access other aspects of this site. I will also leave a modified "introduction" post where each pattern is on this site, as to keep all links active and make it so that you can easily locate the pattern's new home. As an added bonus, you will also find new printable/downloadable versions of my patterns.
I apologize for any inconvenience, but I assure you, this change is a positive one. I look forward to seeing you at Oui Crochet.
Happy Crocheting!
